Senator Heidi Heitkamp says she disagrees with erstwhile presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s claim in a CNN interview that, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.”

“That’s ridiculous,” Heitkamp said in her own CNN interview with Anderson Cooper. “I mean I can’t imagine how you get anything done if you don’t bring civility back into politics, and that goes for both sides.”

That’s an ironic thing to say given the tone of Heitkamp’s own campaign. While she’s touting civility in prime time cable news interviews, her campaign messaging is calling her opponent Congressman Kevin Cramer an “extremist.”
